Same problem on a previous X5 with grey interior. I will never, ever, buy another car with a light interior. Major pita to keep clean & shows every mark. Current X5 has a black interiror. BTW - don;t think it is quality of the jeans. The X5 was my wife's car and whatever those fancy jeans are she wears faded all over the seats.

Can I possibly say that I agree 100000000000001%? :popcorn:

It may be obvious to everyone, but, the darker the jeans, the more likely they are to rub off on your leather. I don't wear my dark jeans very often because I don't want them jacking up my oyster leather. I wear medium-light ones now and I'm not getting any transfer. I understand though that the color spectrum acceptable is wider for me, being a girl and all.

I wear jeans every day. I wouldn't fit in with the other developers if I didn't wear jeans! Heck, mine are high-class because they don't have non-designer holes in them.

And quite frankly....no offense...but I've never seen seat pads in any luxury vehicle...Ever....but then again...I don't get out much! I think I'll have to be a seat pad "jerk" and find another solution......maybe I'd consider the wooden bead seat liners....always thought they looked cool!

LOL

Well, yeah, you did suggest cheap jeans. I only get it from my cheap black pair. No other of my jeans do it to my seat.

Dunno where you are, but I'm in Florida. Unless you're in Cali or Morrocco or Dubia, trust me when I tell you, high end vehicles in S. Florida come a dime a dozen. there are tons of RR drops, Bentleys, Jaqs, MB, Maz, Lambys and ferrars down here. I've seen plenty of them with seat cushions ... and the cushions compliment the interior. Get one customised to your liking if you want to. It's still better than scoffing your interior.
But hey, it's YOUR car not mine. You created this post because there is clearly a "problem" with your pants and your interior. If you don't want to take any steps to prevent it ... live with it.

I'm surprised no one suggested taking your pants off.

No need for cushions or new jeans.

Problem solved.

Eventually you might even get to post a youtube video of yourself explaining to a cop how blue jean dye transfers to Oyster interiors in a BMW.

We've seen the same problem. The Nappa leather seems to be worse than the Merino for some reason. Lexol seems to take care of the stains though.
